I decided to make oatmeal cookies last week. I followed a recipe from a cookbook exactly and they came out…. well…

Yeah. I was like what?! So I did this immediately after:

I turned them into little cookie balls, but I was still determined to make the cookies look like normal oatmeal cookies.

So I tried again and they came out flat and big:

At that point I knew I had to adjust the recipe or figure something else out.

The cookbook is pretty popular, so I browsed some online forums and other people were complaining that their cookies came out the same way. I didn’t feel so bad! I checked out some recommendations and made some modifications.

My perfected recipe and cookie picture will be in my next post 🙂

Have you ever had a baking/cooking fail?

[I had a pumpkin pie fail in November… LOL]
